Happy New Year
2026
It is a tradition for several years now that we go on a first day hike.
The two of us and the little copper dog.
It was cold. It was 10 degrees.
We were dressed warm and planned to go on a hike close to home.
We went to our local snowshoe and cross country ski trail system, Rockman's Woods.
We hiked a two mile loop.
We had received a beautiful snow the day before, the snow was still on the trees making for a winter wonderland.
I love the pop of red from the snowshoe sign marking the path.
My husband made us this delicious breakfast before we headed out on our first day hike.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tradition, Carla! It looks so pretty, but sooo cold! We went to the beach that day to watch the annual Polar Bear plunge. It was so cold here, I watched most of it from the car!! Ps- I like that pop of red, too!! 😉

Your snow pictures are beautiful, Carla. wow, 10 degrees is coooold. It was in the 20's when I got in my car this morning, and that was also cold. You look all bundled up for your first hike. And you're keeping your little dog warm by wrapping around him. Such a delightful photo of the three of you. And the breakfast looks delicious! : )
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Carla. We hike every day with Nicholas the dog. It's good for all of us to keep moving, even during the coldest days!
